How To Be Your Own Stylist & Look Like A Celeb Everyday!

Don’t we all want to step out our houses looking like a celebrity on a daily basis? Prepared for paparazzi shots, hosting 1000+ audiences, and even random run-ins with famous exes. A well put together look can take you places. But the chances of Deepika Padukone’s stylist Shaleena Nathani dress us up are rather slim.

In the real world, we are our own saviours. So the simple solution is to know how to dress yourself like a celebrity stylist would do. All it takes is some inspiration and a little planning. Here are some easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy tips you should keep in mind to make your #OOTD look spectacular everyday.

1. Sunglasses A Day, Goes A Long Way!

Sunglasses can make even your sweats look sexy! Always keeps a trendy pair in your handbag and transform into a #BossLady like Alia Bhatt. They don’t belong only to your beach essentials anymore!

2. Glam-up Without Going OTT!

There’s a huge difference between wearing a trend and pulling it off, the trick is to pick pieces that enhance the look. If an outfit feels too dull, add some bling with statement necklaces or earrings and go beyond the realms of basic.

3. Layering And How!

Bring out the shrugs, front-open jackets, or a button-down shirt, and give your jeans and t-shirt combination a makeover. Layering is one of the easiest (but tricky) fashion cheat. Ace high street fashion without going OTT!

5. Don’t Neglect Your Hair!

Never underestimate the power of a strong hair game! After all, open hair doesn’t suit all face types. Tie ‘em up in a messy bun for a chic look, or leave them wavy for boho feels, try a high ponytail to add volume to your slick-straight hair, or opt for a half-tie just like Kriti for a fresh look.

6. Highlight Your Figure With A Belt!

Don’t restrict belts to ‘something you use to hold your loose pants together.’ Cinch that waist with a chunky one. It not only makes you look more shapely but is also an easy fashion add-on. Belt your boxy tops for a balloon effect or your dresses to exaggerate the hem.
